Transdermal delivery of certain APIs is now common for the treatment of some medical conditions, and there are several excipients that are promoted as transdermal penetration enhancers. One of the earlier materials developed was laurocapram (Azone ). There is a detrimental interaction between laurocapram and mineral oil (liquid paraffin) whereby when both are included in the same formulation, the skin penetration-enhancing properties of laurocapram are lost. Such interactions have implications for extemporaneous mixing of different cream and ointment formulations in the pharmacy.

Nicolazzo et al. [52] considered the use of the lipophilic skin penetration enhancers, octisalate and padimate (both used in sunscreens), in comparison to Azone on the buccal absorption of various drugs in vitro. They were found to have limited effect in enhancing the permeation of triamcinolone acetonide (although some increase in tissue uptake was proposed in some cases) relative to Azone, while reducing the penetration of estradiol and caffeine. One interesting report is that of the effect of capsaicin from capsicum, a commonly used food ingredient, which has been reported to enhance the permeability of sulfathiazole in human volunteers [53] presumably by a direct irritation effect on the mucosa. This raised an interesting issue of the effect of diet on oral mucosal permeability.
